hey, latly everytime i scan with avg i always find new viruses and the weird thing is they are always the same and i use adaware to get rid of spyware and when ever i scan with adaware i always get a winshow client which i delete and i always find a virus with avg that is called downloader.winshow.A or downloader.winshow.L or any letter in between, i was wondering if anyone knows how to get rid of it or if its doing anything really bad cuz it doesnt really borther me much its just kinda annoying,ive looked on the net about this viruses but i never get any results (hopefully not becuz its so rare) another virus i got which was a worry was backdoor.nc23 which has infected the file/s c:\hp\drivers\ketboard\USB.bat and also the file c:\hp\drivers\ketboard\USB.exe im not very good at computers so any help is much appreciated :D

Turn off System Restore temporarily. (Right-click my computer, click properties, click System Restore. Check appropriate box.)
Then run your AVG and AdAware. I can't take credit for this. I found it in Computing. net forum after searching Google.
Turn System Restore back on.
